BERLIN, June 10.-A consultation lasting sew
eral hours was held this afternoon, between DIR.
Mackenzie and all of the German physicians
and specialists who have been and are still con-
nected with the treatment of the Grown Princes
malady. DIR. Virchow presented to the confer
ence the result of his microscopic examination
of the parts removed from the patients throat,
and his conclusions were exceedingly reassur-
ing as to convince all present that the ultimate
complete recovery Of the Prince was a matter of
which there could be doubt DIR. Mackenzie
will return to London Immediately, and the
Crown Prince will follow Monday. During
his stay in London the Crown Prince will reside

shock is sure come of course, but let it be
kept off as long as possible. That is one rea-

You see the Prince married Queen Victoria's
eldest daughter and consequently has always
been held in close affection by the British SOW

affect her health of mind and body. So the

the foremost English surgeon. has been to Berlin
and operated upon his throat. Why2 To reas-

from Berlin to London her Majesty sent for him

death of the Crown Prince would be bad thing

warlike disposition, and his wife is a vain and
eiddy creature, with no heart and little mind.
